Introducing the Fraud Museum

Retirement Communities No Longer Resemble Old Folks' Homes

New developments aimed at the boomer generation are boasting lush grounds with fitness facilities and Olympic-size pools, luxury homes and amenities galore. Need dinner reservations? Call the staff concierge. Feeling some cubital fossa discomfort after climbing the on-site rock wall? Your personal trainer will be right over, and the nutritionist won't be far behind with a vitamin cocktail to help you heal. These communities are sprouting up everywhere, from traditional retirement towns in Arizona and Florida to northern cities such as Chicago, Denver and Philadelphia.
